Some Celtic fans have been discussing a tweet that Spanish giants Barcelona recently sent out.
The Catalan club’s tweet involved the Parkhead-based side and it had Lionel Messi scoring a hat-trick against them in the 2016-17 UEFA Champions League group stage campaign.
But on seeing this video, many Celtic fans expressed their anger. They weren’t happy and some asked the club to post a video of the Hoops beating Barcelona at Parkhead.
Why dont you show the game in Glasgow when Celtic won 2-1 ?

Barcelona had beaten the Hoops 7-0 in September 2016. Messi grabbed a hat-trick, while Luis Suarez had scored twice. Neymar and Andres Iniesta had scored a goal each as well (via BBC Sport).
That season saw Celtic fail to win a single Champions League game. They had held Man City to a couple of draws, losing both the games to the Catalans. They lost one and drew one against Borussia Monchengladbach as well (via Transfermarkt).
What do we think?
Considering the miserable scoreline, it was certainly a harrowing experience for Celtic fans. But what they can be proud of is the time when they had beaten the Nou Camp-based side in the 2012-13 season by a 2-1 scoreline.
Unfortunately, Barcelona might not post a video of that since they lost the game. It is unfair to expect them to post it.
